Cash prize will grow in Hogs for Hospice’s new 50/50 fundraiser LEAMINGTON — With the unfortunate cancellation of this year’s Hogs for Hospice Motorcycle Rally, the organizers needed to find another way to raise much needed funds for the Erie Shores Hospice in Leamington. The idea of an online 50/50 draw seemed like the perfect solution for raising funds during a pandemic. “The money raised from the Hogs for Hospice rally each year makes up a significant amount of the annual funds needed for operations of Erie Shores Hospice,” explains Christine Colautti, Executive Director of the Erie Shores Health Foundation, “ We are so thankful to our Hogs for Hospice partners who have stayed committed to thinking up new creative ways to fundraise in support of Hospice patients and their families at our local Erie Shores Campus.” Hogs for Hospice is partnering with Ascend Fundraising Solutions to run the raffle. Toronto based Ascend has over 500 clients and has helped to raise
over $672 million. The raffle will run from July 27 to August 13, with the winning ticket being drawn on August 14. Tickets were made available online only starting on Monday, July 27 at: hogsforhospice.com. The website features a real time prize total so people can watch as the pot grows. Ticket prices are 3 for $5.00, 10 for $10.00 or 50 for $20.00. The Hogs for Hospice group is grateful to their two generous sponsors — Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers and The Seabrook Financial Group (CIBC Wood Gundy), who have stepped up to get the pot started at $10,000. “We are looking to post a big number”, says organizer Joe Oswald. “We are hoping for a win-win situation where one of our supporters will win a life changing amount of money and our Hospice will receive funds they have come to count on from the Hogs for Hospice Motorcycle Rally Event.”
